Forget the temperature reading under /proc/cpuinfo. That one is from the CPU temperature sensor, which once was a good idea by Motorola but since then more and more unsupported to the point that the recent CPUs give completely bogus readings. And that sensor had to be calibrated anyway to give reasonable readings, something we never quite learned how to do.
